INSIDE THE VENOMOUS ALLIANCE CLAN
Nickie kept punching the punching bag with all her might, her hair stuck to her face as sweat radiated from her body. She was putting on sweatpants with crop top and her hair packed in a ponytail.
" You're working hard Nickie" came the voice of a guy and Nickie stopped punching the bag as she began to breathe heavily.
" Why are you here?" Nickie rolled her eyes at him and he smirked.
" There's a meeting in the sinful hall," Romeo said and gave her one last glance before leaving the gym. Nickie picked up a bottle of water and gulped it down her throat before using a small towel to wipe the sweat from her face...
THE SINFUL HALL
The sinful hall is a secret location used by the Venomous Alliance Clan for various purposes. It served as a temporary hideout for the members on the run, a place to conduct illegal activities discreetly, and a meeting spot for confidential matters which was about to be discussed.
 The underworld boss Vincenzo, the Caporegimes Alessandro and Giovanni, the Enforcers, and lastly the Consigliere were already gathered in the sinful hall waiting for the Cosa Nostra to come in and after a few minutes, he walked in. 
Everyone present there bowed their heads and he nodded, went to his throne, and sat down. " We are taking down the Viper clan tonight. They've become a threat to our business and I believe you all can handle the mission right?" He shouted loud enough for everyone to hear and they all chorused at once, " Yes Lord!! ".
" Good. Now gather around the table" Cosa Nostra said and they all gathered around the large table. It is a long, obsidian table that dominates the center of the sinful hall, polished to a mirror-like sheen. Its surface bears the scars of countless meetings. The table is strewn with maps, blueprints, and dossiers, organized to ensure efficiency in executing their plans.
The hall fell into a hush when Cosa Nostra also known as Don Federico pressed a button on the table and another part of the table brought out photographs, newspaper clippings, and maps. Each piece of evidence on the table formed a visual representation of their rival clan, The Vipers. Don Federico reached out into his pocket and took out a rolled-up map.
Carefully, he unfolded the map onto the table, revealing a network of lines and symbols. The map pointed to the territories controlled by both clans and was marked with different colored pins representing each faction. The members leaned closer, listening to every detail explained by Don Federico.
" This is where we strike first," Don Federico declared, pointing to a safe house in a quiet residential neighborhood. " Their operations rely on this location for meetings and storing sensitive information. We will disrupt their communication channel, Antonio handle that since you're a computer wizard" Don Federico said and Antonio nodded.
" Yes, boss."
" The rest of you will weaken their defense while Vincenzo will get Salvatore himself and bring him here," he said and turned to Alessandro and Giovanni, " The two of you, Nickie, Romeo, and Vixen with target their drug labs, chop shops, and racketeering operations. We must bring them down tonight" Don Federico said and they all nodded at once.
 " This is our opportunity to strike the Vipers down. Our success depends on each one of you playing your part flawlessly. You all can leave now" he ordered and everyone was dismissed from the sinful hall. Just as Vincenzo was about to leave with Romeo his best friend and right-hand man, Don Federico called him, "Except you Vincenzo".
Vincenzo turned to look at his father with lazy eyes, " what is it this time?" Vincenzo asked taking a cigarette from his pocket and lit with a lighter.
" Why didn't you come for your wedding?" Don Federico asked
" I was not interested in such a marriage with a kid," he said puffing out the smoke from the cigarette. " Anyways your bride is in the clan. Treat her well since she's a fragile girl" Don Federico said and Vincenzo dropped the cigarette on the ground and stepped on it. " I will treat her the way I want since she's my wife," he said and walked out of the sinful hall with his hands in his pocket.
THE MANSION
Ava has been in her room for about two hours without coming out. What was she supposed to do in a place filled with trained men, mafias, and underworld bosses? Nothing!
She was putting on black silk pants with a white singlet and was lying on the bed with her phone in her hands. Suddenly her stomach growled loudly and she bit her lower lips. " I am damn hungry. Now I regretted not eating last night and today" she pouted staring at her phone screen when someone knocked on her door and she jumped out of bed, hurrying towards the door.
" Miss it's time for dinner. The boss wants you to join the family for dinner" the maid said and Ava nodded before picking up her phone from the bed and following the maid. Her hair was now down falling to her waist and as she walked, her hair whipped back and forth. 
On getting to the dining room, Ava met the family waiting for her. Everyone present there was staring at her except for her so-called husband who already started eating without looking at her.
Ava smiled awkwardly and bow for Don Federico before sitting on the available chair beside Vincenzo. She gripped her phone tightly as she sat down and almost immediately Vincenzo raised his head to look at Ava who was uncomfortable with those pale blue eyes of his and she looked down when she felt his gaze on her.
" Since the person we've been waiting for is here, let's eat," Don Federico said and everyone started eating except for Ava who was picking on her food. She has never eaten with many people apart from her mom, dad, and her friends but the people seated in the dining room were strangers to her.
" Are you okay, Ava?" Don Federico asked and Havana who was seated beside Alessandro scoffed inwardly as she gripped the fork in her hands tightly. " Why is this bitch receiving all the attention from Godfather?" Havana thought as she kept glaring hard at Ava whose head was still down.
" Nothing godfather.." Ava smiled and continue eating in silence.
On the other end of the table, Alessandro moved his mouth to Havana who was sitting next to him and whispered, "Why are you angry that she's receiving all father's attention?" he smirked devilishly and Havana glared at him. " Mind your business asshole." She gritted her teeth.
Amidst the silence, Don Federico said, "It seems Ava isn't comfortable eating with us." He said and turned to Vincenzo, "Can you take your wife on a walk around the clan after dinner?" He asked and all eyes turned to Vincenzo immediately.
